AN: I'm sorry this is yet another chapter featuring Yuuki, but I'm having too much fun toying with her and beating on her. Anyways, everyone's really confused and emotional right now, so try to bear with me. There's a rape warning in this, but it's more implied after a certain point and not too graphic because of that. There's also more bad language (worse than last chapter). That seems to happen when people are pissed off… In this, Kaien Cross is a high-class vampire.

Yuuki stood timidly at the front door of Rido's mansion with Shiki.

"Are you sure about this?" Shiki asked her, turning and taking both her hands in his. Yuuki swallowed and nodded. She didn't trust her voice right now. Gathering the scarce courage she had, she stepped away from him and banged on the door with the ornate knocker. The door opened almost immediately, revealing an old man in a black suit. He managed a small smile upon seeing who it was.

"Hello, Yuuki-sama." He greeted. Yuuki smiled sadly at the elder man who had known her since birth. He'd been akin to a grandfather to her at one point, but it had been a long time since she'd last seen him. She felt sorry for him, since he was clearly still serving her cruel uncle, but she was thankful at the same time to see the familiar face. It was a comfort she hadn't expected.

"Hello, Kaien-senpai." She returned. Kaien welcomed them in and took their coats. Shiki tensed when he sensed his father nearing. He instinctively moved closer to Yuuki in an unconscious attempt to protect her. Rido came down the stairs with an evil smile on his face. It wasn't the most welcoming face and Yuuki felt her heart beat pick up in fear.

"Hello, Yuuki." He greeted, coming to stand in front of them.

"I see my failure of a son decided to escort you. Oh well, you can leave now, Shiki. You're no longer required, not that you were in the first place." Rido dissed his son. Rido took Yuuki's wrist and began dragging her away.

"You fucking son of a bitch! Like hell I'll leave! Are you out of your fucking mind?" Shiki raged, causing Rido to stop and turn back around.

"Actually, you're the son of a bitch, Shiki. I would know. I fucked her. Now I'll forgive you for thinking you were welcome here, since I presume Yuuki asked you along, but if you don't leave now, I won't tolerate you being near her in the future." Rido said calmly. Yuuki could see that Shiki wasn't going to listen.

"It's fine, Shiki. I'll be fine." She told him.

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a whore like you would be fine. But really, I can't believe you'd just turn your back on us so you can go have sex with my jackass of a father. You know you could have any of us if you just ask, but no, you'd prefer your fucking pureblood uncle. Does he turn you on, Yuuki? Do you like it rough? Well I hope he breaks you, 'cause you're just as much scum as him!" Shiki fumed, directing all his anger at her. Yuuki's eyes welled up with tears. Shiki turned his back on them and started to walk away.

"I was wrong. You're almost as good at making a girl cry as me. Maybe I should take you back." Rido laughed.

"Fuck off. Do what you want with her, but I don't want anything to do with you." Shiki replied behind his back, taking his coat from Kaien and walking out the front door. Rido chuckled at his son's attitude, shaking his head in disbelief. Yuuki stared after him, everything still sinking in.

"Come on." Rido said, dragging her upstairs. Yuuki followed numbly, feeling as if she was in someone else's body, experiencing their life, and hoping she'd be back to herself again. He opened the bedroom door and pulled her in, locking the door behind him. He dragged her over and tossed her on the bed, his eyes glowing a bright red. Yuuki finally snapped out of it and realized she was in for more than she'd bargained for. Rido was in a sadistic mood and would be hurting her through more than just rape tonight.

Ichiru hugged himself on the bed, trembling as he heard each ear splitting scream of agony. Rido had locked him in the dungeon and he had no escape from the windowless cell. The screams finally faded into silence, but he was still breathing hard when he heard the door on his cell unlock, revealing his greatest fear…

Ooooh… Cliffhanger. I know I keep doing short chapters, but I've already got ideas for what happens next in Rido's mansion, but I think I might update Kaname and Zero's situation first. I was thinking when I wrote this They're gonna have a fun time deciding who they hate for this chapter. So let me know the results to
